Chaweng Lake on Koh Samui stars in this short time-lapse from Dave of Almost Retired in Thailand. Thirty seconds of clouds and light rolling over the heart of Chaweng, the island's busiest beach town, in a quick atmospheric clip. A small postcard from everyday life on the island in early 2022.
A Quick Look at Chaweng Lake
Chaweng Lake sits in the middle of Koh Samui's main tourist town, a calm pocket of water surrounded by the roads, restaurants, and shops of Chaweng. This short time-lapse compresses the passing sky and light over the lake into a thirty second clip, a small postcard from everyday life on the island.
From the Channel's Early Days
The video comes from early 2022 and points viewers to the channel's website, Almost Retired in Thailand, where Dave and Kim share their expat life, travel, and cost of living content from Hua Hin and beyond. Short clips like this sit alongside the channel's longer guides and vlogs. Chaweng Lake also anchors several of Dave's driving videos around the town, so it is a landmark regular viewers will recognize. Even a thirty second clip like this one helps document how the town looked and felt in early 2022.
